The Opportunity : Are you ready to take control of your projects, make real-time decisions, and see your work come to life without layers of red tape?

This opportunity is with a smaller, privately held engineering firm where you have the freedom to lead — not just follow a process.

We’re seeking a Professional Engineer (PE) experienced in Land Development who wants more ownership over their work and direct influence on project outcomes.

You’ll join a team with a strong backlog of private and public development projects, from 1-acre commercial sites to 3,000-acre master-planned communities — valued anywhere from $50,000 to several million dollars.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • More Control. Make decisions without waiting for endless approvals — your judgment is trusted here.
  • Manage Less, Do More. Lead a small, focused team and manage 10–12 projects at once, allowing you to stay deeply involved in both the technical and leadership sides.
  • Lean & Agile Environment. Fewer layers, fewer rules, and more opportunities to drive results.
  • Strong, Stable Backlog. A diverse pipeline of land development projects ensures stability and long-term growth.
  • Rewarding Compensation. Competitive salary range of $120K–$200K + Bonus, reflecting your expertise and leadership.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead multidisciplinary land development projects from concept to completion.
  • Oversee site design, grading, drainage, utilities, and stormwater management.
  • Manage and mentor a small team of engineers and designers.
  • Coordinate with clients, municipalities, and contractors to move projects forward efficiently.
  • Balance technical precision with project deadlines — and have the autonomy to make it happen.
  • Ideal Candidate

  • Licensed Professional Engineer (PE)
  • 8+ years of experience in land development or site civil design
  • Strong technical background in grading, utilities, stormwater, and permitting
  • Proven ability to lead teams and manage multiple active projects
  • Looking for a long-term home where performance, not bureaucracy, drives success
  • Join a Firm Where You Can Truly LeadIf you’re tired of being just another cog in a big machine, this is your chance to make a real impact — on your projects, your team, and your career.
